I really liked this book. The plot was good, the characters were well-developed and it was a very fun read. My one critique of the book is the ending. Within 2 pages, Flint and Maisey went from Maisey being scared and not wanting to be in a relationship, to being engaged. I feel like there could have been another chapter before the epilogue of everyone's reaction to them finally dating. The book focused a lot on the idea of community and their past relationships but never really talked about how the town reacted. I think a scene when Flint asks Junie if he can marry her mom would have also been good to include.

Overall, it was a good book and I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Pippa Grant books always make you laugh and sometimes make you cry.

I didn't realize that Ms. Grant's newest book, Not My Kind of Hero, would have me laughing in the first chapter. Maisie, her daughter Junie, and my kind of hero, Flint, are all engaging, relatable and sheer joy to read about.

Pippa's ability to get women and what we want/need is a gift to all of her readers. She writes Maisie as someone who has regrets about how she has been raising her child and then does whatever she has to do to try and rectify it - even if it means moving away from everything and everyone you know to do it and sacrificing her own relationships to make that happen.

Flint is a vulnerable-ish main character that we root for and want to get his HEA as well.

Is it wrong that I want an Earl like animal in my suburban neighborhood? The secondary characters in all of her books are sheer joy and they don't disappoint in this book. I just hope that she finds other stories from them so that we can continue this as a series.

I love this book and wish that it was out already so I could buy the audiobook to listen to as well.

Yessss give me a grumpy hero, add a single mother with forced proximity and boom - you got yourself a winner! I’ve never read this author before but I’m definitely interested in her backlist now. The slow burn and the tension was sizzling. Highly recommend!

The first chapter of this book had me reaching for the tissues to wipe the tears from my eyes, tears from the laughter that caused the cat to jump from my lap! Sure, we have the amazing Maisie and Flint, the perfect sixteen-year-old Junie, but Earl almost steals the books with his antics.

The laughs had my pelvic floor cursing. It was the depth of the characters though that I really adored. Both were broken people who didn't feel worthy, yet managed to see each other in themselves and learn that weaknesses can become strengths. Chef's kiss!

Sure, I'd read Pippa Grant's shopping list if she published it, but this book was amazing and I believe is now my favourite PG book ever. Take that Cooper Rock!

Thanks so much to Montlake and NetGalley for the early copy.

I’ve long enjoyed Pippa Grant’s stories, and Not My Kind of Hero is no exception.
No one writes small town shenanigans quite like this author, we’re guaranteed laugh out loud hilarious moments, as well as tender swooney scenes and everything in between.
Maisey, former TV reality star moves herself and her teenage daughter to Hells Bells, where she inherited a fixer upper ranch. Queue in Flint, math teacher/soccer coach, as her grumpy tenant, some pesky wildlife and we have a romcom masterpiece!!!
I definitely recommend this book to all romcom enthusiast.

This was the perfect blend of humor and depth. Sassy and serious. Finding yourself and finding love. This single mama romance hit all the right notes and incorporated the kiddo in the best way. Not some off-hand note where you know a kid exists to further the storyline. No, this teen was a star of the show and I adored her. And oh that broody standoffish cowboyesque soccer coach... I 100% recommend.

Pippa Grant is just knocking them out of the park lately with these new and upcoming releases.

I received a free copy of this ebook from NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a great stand alone Pippa book. I have loved her world building for the other series she has but this was a great step out of those.

Nothing quite like a stubborn wild animal, single parenthood and a crazy small town to bring two people together.

This is a heartwarming tale with plenty of comedy gold to keep you laughing for hours.

A new standalone that’s a perfect gateway for new readers to enter the Pippaverse! I mean, it takes place in a town called Hells Bells and they live on Wit’s End Ranch. Not My Kind of Hero is full of laugh out loud moments that will count as an ab workout. Follow Maisey, her daughter June, and their only tenant Flint as they each face personal challenges, discovering they might just be who each one needs.

This book was not what I was expecting, it was much more. It was such a swoony read with off the charts chemistry.

I was hooked from the very first chapter. In true Pippa fashion this book is filled with laughs, fun characters and of course animals. I’d expect nothing less from this author. No one does small town romantic comedies like Pippa does. This book is a bit different from her usual off the charts laugh out loud novels. It’s much deeper, which I really enjoyed.

In this book we meet Maisey Spencer, a divorced former reality TV home improvement star, who moves to a ranch she inherited from her uncle in Hell’s Bells, Wyoming. To say June, Maisey’s teenage daughter, is unhappy by the move is an understatement. Flint Jackson, the cranky hot tenant who’s been running the place since her uncle died? He’s also not ecstatic she’s there and hopes she’ll realize how out of her depth she is and go back to where she came from.

I loved the tension between the two main characters. They had amazing chemistry from the start and their banter was great. It was a nice slowburn.

Flint is a great grumpy hero and Maisey is a strong, fierce heroine who’s done with people who think she’s not good enough. Throw in a town filled with great people, a very bright teenager dealing with a lot and you have an awesome read.

Highly recommended! I hope we get more stories from Hell’s Bells.

Nice little slow burn rom-com. I am a sucker for small town romances and it was quite an enjoyable read. The build up between the two main characters was paced well.
